Company Constitutions

The fundamental rules of a company are set out in its constitution. A company’s constitution operates much in the same way that a national constitution sets out the fundamental rules in which a country is to operate. Aside from setting out the fundamental rules for the operation of the company, the company constitution also sets out how decisions are to be made, how shareholder meetings, are to be conducted, and how Directors are able to exercise their powers.

As such, it is, of course, vital to retain an experienced solicitor to assist in drafting such an important document to ensure it is given proper consideration from the outset.Continuing the analogy of a country’s constitution, it is often remarked as to how difficult it is to change the Australian constitution, to the point that amendments are time-consuming, costly and divert limited resources away from more pertinent activities. By the same logic, when a company grows, and shareholders preponderate, amending the company constitution can become extremely difficult – so it is important that the document is given proper consideration and drafted correctly from the outset.

Alicia Wade

For the past several years Luke and Alex have been guiding me through a minefield of horribly complicated estate and personal issues. Despite this they have always quoted me a very reasonable fixed price for each solution and just quietly they happily worked more hours than they quoted that is for sure (or stayed up late because I needed it). I am very grateful for their wonderful support and sound advice over a difficult period of my life. I recommend for anyone who needs peace from these kinds of issue to get in touch, have a chat, and breathe a sigh of relief.
